I had an epiphany a couple of weeks that it would be good for me to clean my studio out and quit looking at old work.

As a result, I am going to begin posting images of my old work here, and I need your help.

If you are interested in any of the pieces, email me at beth@bethmeadows.com.

You may pay the super low sale price OR we can make a trade.

Things I will trade for:

• artwork
• Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop lesson
• a photography lesson (I have a Nikon D50)
• a seamstress to alter clothing (mostly hemming)
• food/produce from garden
• fashion home decor/arhitectural magazines from the past year
• canvases
• fabric
• a new road bike (let me dream big)
• a truck (again, dreaming)
• any other ideas?

My only rule is that please don't be creepy. Thanks.

So here is the first piece of artwork:

This piece is 22.5 x 18.5"in the frame. The image floats on the black matte and the frame is pale yellow. 

It features a series of screenprints based off of photos I took at dusk while driving my car*

They were intended for a book, but I ended up framing several of the sets I made instead of binding them. I worked on this project during 2007.

$30 or trade me $30 worth of something: beth@bethmeadows.com

*I do not advocate this foolish behavior

I finished the Juicy Jangles screenprint a few weeks ago. I was toying with adding more to it, but after sitting on it, I decided to keep it simple.

She is a reductive four-color-run print in an edition of 28 on various colors of 14 x 11" paper.

This is the first screenprint I've made in about five years and so to celebrate, she is only $25 unframed. I've listed one so far on Etsy.

I did the second run for the Juicy print yesterday. I'm really excited about picking up screenprinting again- I've got some ideas brewin'.





I decided to entitle this print Juicy Jangles, which is Juicy's nickname when she wears her bell necklace. Yes, she has different names for most occasions.

...no, not even close, but I did screenprint for the first time today in six years. I suck at it! but am also really excited. It's so repetitive, it will be easy to improve quickly.

I used a little Speedball Kit I got a couple of years ago. I've had the screen ready for about six months, and today, I did my first run.



All I can say is that the unfamiliar is really daunting to me. I am really fearful of things I don't know how to do naturally (Oh, wait. That's everything.). I learned screenprinting at UT, but doing it on my own always seemed like too much.

Good thing I realized today it's super easy.

There's a moral to this story somewhere.



Can you guess who my inspiration is for this print? I'll give you a hint: she's adorable.
